Sankt Göran Biography

Sankt Goran
Gothenburg is Sweden's second biggest city, a port town built by
hardworking sailors known for its art schools afterparties, militant
pop bands and pretentious jazz. It's also where the most forward
looking Swedish music is made.

Naturally, Gothenburg was the first Swedish city to pick up on new
Scandinavian disco and made sure its citizens danced to it. While the
rest of the country slept in a haze of unknowledge, names like Prins
Thomas, Lindstrøm, Todd Terje and Metro Area were regular guests on
the Gothenburg club scene.

In the middle of this was Sankt Göran.

Born and raised in Falun – a small town most known for cross country
skiing and its old copper mine Göran Dahlström fell in love with pop
music in his early teenage years. Like every ordinary Swedish teen he
rumbled around in different pop constellations before Kerri Chandler
and Sylvester danced in and replaced former indie heroes on his record
shelf.

Not yet old enough to enter bars in Falun, Göran was already spinning
at several clubs and bars. In 2001 he started to play regularly at
Banken Bar & Brasserie, a spot that's been the heart of Falun's
alternative music scene since the mid nineties.

Pretty soon Falun felt too small and Göran headed south-west to
Gothenburg to form the deep house/disco combo Hermanos with his older
brother Jonas.
Together with other local djs, Qlint, EdEd and JayStarSeven, they made
sure to constantly renew the sound of every endlessly long Gothenburg
club night. The scene they created influenced bands such as The Studio
to leave their guitar-based ground and fly into discophrenia. It made
people grunt about self absorbed djs, when in fact it was always about
finding new ways to define and transmit dance music.

Göran's first track Back 2 Back (yep, it's his first production ever)
instantly gained love from Japanese blo
